Front Crossmember - Mazda 6 Training Manual

FRONT CROSSMEMBER

Outline
• A perimeter frame structure type front crossmember has been adopted to increase rigidity.
• The main parts of the front crossmember are made from a high-tension steel by hydro-formed process to
improve strength without increasing weight.
• To reduce the transmission of vibration and noise from suspension system to the body, rubber mounts are
used at the four connecting points of the front crossmember to the body.
• The crossmember mounting bushings have optimally low spring rates, and they each have a two- piece
structure that realizes the softness necessary for riding comfort without compromising the firmness necessary
for handling stability.
